Oh, I'll have the Chickens on Snow. Sounds delicious. (???) Great post!!!

(PS. Hi! I'm Kate...and an avid reader of your blog. You've done exactly what I want to do/anticipate doing by leaving the big city and starting a sustainable life out in the green world. I can't tell you how jealous/inspired I am! I would love to know all about your journey, preparation, transition, acquisition of skills, etc. Your blog is a delight. Thank you!)

The whole group of photos reminds of my four dogs when it snows here. No one and I repeat no one will go outside because they get their prissy little toes wet. I have to carry them out to pee. How trained am I? LOL!

Like I said , "semantics", Danny Boy. You can stand out there in the cold quibbling, I'm going in the garage, or the gazebo, or whatever it is. BTW, your little fuzzy ears look real cute in that daily photo. Who you hiding from, chum?

Hi Kate,Welcome to the farm! So sorry, but the temperature has risen and we are all out of Chickens On Snow (much to their delight).

So glad you're enjoying (and being inspired by) my blog. Okay, lots of questions about how I got from there (city full of crazy people) to here (country full of crazy critters). A lot of people have been asking me some of these same things, so I'm thinking of setting up some sort of place(like an adjacent blog) where I can answer questions as I have time and they will be permanently visible to anybody who wants to read them. That seems better than answering emails and comments individually. So be on the lookout for an announcement about that someday hopefully soon.

In the meantime, it definitely looks as though you're honing your skills in the kitchen. You've sure cooked up some delicious things over at Pie In The Sky!

Hi Baking Soda,You're very welcome!

Hi Sha,Gotcha! : )

Hi Amy,But you don't even get snow in Florida.

Hi Lindy (the chicken),Um, there appears to be somewhat of a waiting list for the armchair, and um, let's see, you're not at the top of the list. Gosh, you're not even second. Hmmmm. You know what? I don't think chickens really need chairs, do you? I mean, you seem perfectly comfortable spending the night perched on that branch in your coop, and let's face it: you don't have any arms. I wouldn't want to be personally responsible for messing up your finely tuned instincts or anything (not that all this computer hacking hasn't already).

Hi Vickie,Oh they have you trained very, very well!

Lindy (the chicken) (again),On the other hand, do you think you would be nicer if you had an armchair?

I know this is an old post, but I just found your web site. My daughter got a big kick out of these pictures because we have a Buff Orpington and a Light Brahma like the 2 chickens featured in your photos. They are named Muffin and Pooh. Actually, Pooh recently died. We currently live in the city and they are backyard chickens, but we are hoping to make a big move to the country in the next few weeks. Wish us luck!

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
